Re: Report: Al Qaeda Planning Summer Terror Spectacular
If there were any plans for something on US soil, I would peg Al Qaeda's likely course of action as doing something at a symbolic location on or near a symbolic date in 2009 within a year after a new president is sworn in. Admittedly, it's sort of a vague intuition there, but it's the opposite of what I would plan if I were a terrorist (which I am not).
They are in sort of a hard position of having to follow-up 9/11 with something just as spectacular and would be interested in topping that. If they don't go for a bigger body count, then the logical course of action would be to target a high-profile death. If there is a suspcion of something this summer, I'd look into more protection for presidential candidates.
